As I was changing the other evening, Liam shrieked, covered his eyes, and said:
"Oh no! I do not need to see that! Get that out of my face. That huge thing sitting on top of your legs. Your butt is ginormous."

Changing in front of my kids always seemed so natural and normal. After all they are just toddlers, and I did make them from this body. But, for the first time, I think I blushed and quickly covered up. Is this it? At 4 years old, is Liam now too old for me to be changing in front of him?
Do you change in front of your kids? What age do you think is appropriate and what's not?

I change infront of my children. I don't think there's an "appropriate" age to stop. I think whenever you child is uncomfortable seeing you nude is when you stop.

LikeI'm 27 years old, and my family has always been able to change in front of each other. Nobody is completely nude, but in our underwear. My brothers are 25 and 22. It's nothing to us. And it's a plus that they know how to loosen/tighten bra straps and check for a rash, and vice versa.

Your marketing of kids is not giving 1st born his own identity.
He is not your co-pilot.

LikeI have never worried about being nude in front of my kids and they still don't care. My 9 year old daughter definitely doesn't want her brothers or father to see her naked, but she is comfortable with me. I have always wanted my children to feel totally comfortable with their bodies.
